NatureMill Automatic Kitchen Compost Machine by Evan Orensten

The NatureMill automatic compost machine is designed to sit unobtrusively in your kitchen. Its aesthetic may be neutral, but it's a small price to pay for the huge benefits it provides—an estimated landfill savings of more than two tons during its lifetime in a home with a family of four. Plus it generates a large volume of compost automatically—no cultures, worms, fuss or muss—just put food and paper on top, and remove the compost from the bottom. It is even odor free.

Why pay for and transport compost when you can easily make your own? Available online from NatureMill for $399.

Design is the Problem: The Future of Design Must be Sustainable
Nathan Shedroff's new book, "Design is the Problem", presents a practical and layman-accessible exploration of sustainable design. In it, he breaks the progress towards sustainability into five parts: learning how to reduce, reuse, recycle, restore, and process. And Shedroff isn't afraid to get in reader's faces about the issue, either, bluntly stating that we need to "get over the guilt or shock or outrage......
Benjamin Graindorge x Duende Studio: Floating Garden Aquarium
Floating Garden, a new freshwater aquarium concept by Benjamin Graindorge and Duende Studio, tackles waste management, the primary concern of aquariums, with an innovative, 100% natural filtering system.
